Science educator who believes in PIRATE theology. Passion motivates students to learn. True education happens when students drive the learning.

Any teachers who used metaverse AR (gometa) know of a replacement? All my metaverse experiences for science have disappeared - can’t be accessed. Looks like the platform is now owned by Linktree? I had some fantastic labs integrated with AR that vanished. #metaverseAR. #koji

@NJTRANSIT delays in/out of NY Penn Station with NO announcements. Station packed! What’s going on? Cant they gave the decency to report delays?!

@k8roulette2 Great! Victory, our corn snake, was in class for years until BOE policy changed. FYI they live a LONG time. Victory wb 22 in Dec. 😳

People with a surplus of confidence and a shortage of character never fail to disappoint.

Leadership skill is inversely related to the size and fragility of the ego.

Humility, generosity, and honor are underrated virtues. The most principled person is the best poised to serve.

Inspired by the staff and students of our newest secondary school - Imagine High @imaginesd33 ! #sd33learns #HumanSocialSD33 Chilliwack students pause regular studies to spend 2 weeks on ‘deep dives’ projects https://t.co/RMde5lRZvn

Students got to work creating today, attempting to bring wind and water power to their Medieval villages. Some amazing problem solving in the works here! @imaginesd33

What better way to show what you know about a historical pandemic than making a board game about it? So impressed with these games! @imaginesd33

"It would be a shame to return to normal without acknowledging any growth that occurred during the pandemic." Let's recognize students' accomplishments during the past year! 🙌

Work this into your science class if you teach grades 7-12. At least one student will flip out and start talking science with you. #scitlap #anime #drstone

Just finished a week of @UnrealEngine learning. So great to collaborate and get to know some amazing educators. Big thanks to @EpicGames @mr_isaacs @IanSouthwell2 @cleverlike @iwearthecrowns & everyone else who worked so hard to put the accelerator together. Lets do it again soon

Excited to be joining the Unreal Educator class in August! Hope this ole science teacher can keep up!#FortniteCreative #UnrealEngine #twinmotion #EpicGames

If you are planning PD for teachers and concerned about “filling the time” that’s a big problem. Teacher time is too precious. If the time isn’t purposeful, just give it back to the teachers. There is far too much to do.

"At least one in 20 children were absent from state schools in England because of Covid within the last week, as official figures reveal a 66% increase in the number of pupils with confirmed coronavirus infections."
